Dont reed this if you dont care, i went on a rant about my personal experience recently. If you tjink you have a problem read this. I was smoking weed every single day atleast twice. I had to stop recently and it's been very hard. But I did some reflection on why I feel the need. I was not a popular kid in hs, in a graduating class of no more than 25 kids and only about 150 kids in the hs all together, it's pretty easy to not have friends in a small school. When I got out of school I started smoking soon I had friends now I have alot of people who genuinely want to hang out with me. My thoughts are, my brain made the connection to friends (my friemds are all casual smokers we smoke whem we hamg out) and me smoking bc they started at the same time. However the real reason was I was just exposed to a much larger range of people, so I could find more people that I vibe with. But my brain i assume become convinced I was not "cool me" without weed. But after reflecting I see I actually realy enjoy being sober. I'm at a point now that I feel I could use it responsibly on the weekends to enjoy the high. My point to this is, don't let weed be a crutch, it's non addictive but your brain can do funny things if you use this stuff to fix your problems. It's good to enjoy take the edge off and relax, not good to replace your personality with a full time stoned 247 personality.
